Commissioner Carey said that he appreciates Commissioner Halkiotis' change of heart <br />on the issue of nomination by district. He said that they need to move in the direction that the <br />residents asked them to and either proposal B or his proposal would move in this direction. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Foushee to <br />choose proposal B as the district map. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />Chair Jacobs said that district 1 is Chapel Hill Township and would have two members, <br />and district 2 has the other six townships and would have one member.
